Thanks for letting us know, John. We'll look to fix them, or remove them if the resources no longer exist.
 
Thanks to everyone that has put this information together. I love this website.
I've been looking for an albino axoltl since mine died over ten years ago. Thanks again.
 
Suzie,
Great website with lots of information! Can't wait to finish my homework tomorrow so I can read it all! Thanks for doing such a great job.
 
Thanks for the info, I am looking to start a daphnia culture myself before I acquire some axolotl eggs to raise. :happy:

The link labeled why larva die is not working. This is the one I need. Are there anymore resources?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
